Torchlight is an action role-playing game developed by Runic Games. The graphics are three dimensional and viewed from an overhead perspective, similar to the isometric perspective used in the original Diablo. The PC version of Torchlight is designed to allow extensive modding by players, and Runic Games has released the game editing tools they used to create the game as a free download.
